Morning fog and 22 inches of rain mean your Oakland carpet holds damp and grit
Oakland has warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. The 1991 to 2020 normal is 22.61 inches of rain. The hills collect up to 30 inches. Maritime fog drifts in too. The hills get more of it than the flatlands.
About two-thirds of the city sits on the flat East Bay plain. One-third climbs into the hills. Either way, wet shoes cross your carpet all winter. Vacuuming lifts loose dirt, not the film that locks it to the fibers. A careful cleaner rinses that film out.
Steam carpet cleaning Oakland CA: what a careful crew does in a 1920s flat or a hillside house
Wikipedia says Oakland added about 13,000 homes between 1921 and 1924. A lot of carpet here lies in rooms with odd corners. Old floors sit underneath. Steam cleaning is hot water extraction. The crew vacuums first and pre-sprays the walking lanes. Then they agitate, rinse and pull the water back out. In a foggy week the carpet takes longer to dry. Ask how the crew will move air.
